Surat al-Kahf (Arabic: "The Cave") is the 18th surah of the Qur'an with 110 ayat. It is a Meccan sura. As-hab al-Kahf Verses 9–26 of the chapter tell the story of the As-hab al-Kahf (Arabic:"People of the Cave"). A few young believers lived in a time when they were tortured for their beliefs. Upon the guidance of Allah, they fled the city, where believers were persecuted, together with their kalb (Arabic: dog), and took refuge in a cave where they fell asleep. When they woke they found themselves that the people of the city had become believers. The story of the rich and the poor: In verses 32–44 the surah discusses a parable of two men, one of whom had been given blessings from God and the other poor. The rich one wronged his soul and started showing off with his wealth and noble lineage. And he had fruit, so he said to his companion while he was conversing with him, "I am greater than you in wealth and mightier in [numbers of] men."--- Updated: 2018-08-18
